How do I succeed in trading?

When was the last time you gave it your full effort?
Read the full story.
I see an out-of-shape girl at the gym with one leg going from exercise to exercise. Crawling on the floor to pick up the weight and dragging them back to her bench. Part of me wanted to grab the weights for her and carry it. I made eye contact with her, she looked at me and knew what I was thinking. The look I got was “I got this, I don’t need help”.
In the last 2 months, I have seen this girl at least 15 times. She is still there. She is still working out, and working on getting into better shape. I honestly thought to myself - Wow, this girl is giving it all she has. Not having one leg is not stopping her”. This girl is always in good spirits, smiling. That’s the definition of giving it all. She made me feel like I could do more in the gym. An inspiration, honestly.
When was the last time you gave it your full effort?
Said no to parties/dinners/friends/boozing. Because you have something big that you want to accomplish. Every time I ask this question and people tell me they gave it all, they haven’t. Imagine success was your only option. How would you get there? You would want to fail as many times as you can as fast as you can so that you could learn to fail less. Eventually, you would get good at it. Nobody is good at anything when they start. Obsession will beat talent 100% of the time.
